Wychfield

I think I lived in the room with the slightly open window on the first floor.Wychfield was owned by Francis Darwin - probably the wrong Darwin to be commemorating today but he did do a lot to make his father better known.Note the croquet lawn!

Hi there,

I'm currently a student at Trinity Hall, and plan to give a talk about the history of Wychfield in the near future. It was nice to see your picture of Wychfield from the 70s on your blog, and I wonder- do you have any photos taken from/looking out of the front of the house? I believe there used to be a big beech tree which was removed to build some accommodation in the 90s, and would be interested to see what the place looked like!

I'll have a look through the relevant slides but, from memory, I think you may be out of luck! Thanks for stopping by - I'll place another comment here when I have further information! I'm still in touch with someone who also lived there and was a photographer, I'll ask around.
